Validation Pipeline for Halo Finders

------------------------------------------

input:	halo catalogues
output: plots

------------------------------------------

This pipeline takes halo catalogues as returned by a given set of halo finders and generates the plots found in http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011MNRAS.415.2293K

The halo finders to be plotted have to be specified in param.h

The format of the halo catalogues has to be as follows:
#x(1), y(2), z(3), vx(4), vy(5), vz(6), M200crit(7), R200crit(8), Vmax(9), Rmax(10), Mmax(11), N(12)

using the units
[x] = Mpc/h
[v] = km/sec
[M] = Msun/h

------------------------------------------

The data to be analysed (e.g. FullBox simulations and MockHaloes) are stored on a dedicated server and access will be given upon request.
